Count me in too, what an amazing prize.

Replacing the exterior lights on the garage, and I'm looking for a packer/shim/wedge product to go behind the light so that it sits on a vertical surface. This is most important for some lights where the holes/wires are such that the light can't sit just on one board, so would have a huge 1/4" ...

Anyone got insight into what the new normal is for HF and HF-inside track coupons? I used to time all HF purchases for when there was a coupon, then coupons stopped for a while. My inside track expired and I'm now wanting a few Icon tools. Trying to workout if waiting a couple months will pay...

Thanks, I figured 1935 seemed too old, and also thought it looked smaller than 4", but the seller said that it had 4 stamped on it somewhere that I've not found. I'll set up the bath one day this week, it'll be my first time doing it. I did a 1960's or so Craftsman with wire wheels on an angle...

Repaired Wilton 4”. Paid $40. Planning to restore for a learning project, and pass onto one of my kids. 1) do I put everything, once disassembled, into the electrolysis bath, or do I need to mask the chrome(?) inner part? 2) is this from 1935, or is that the model? Thanks

The local used market had slim pickings, but I did stumble across a used TroyBuilt 27T with the Honda GCV160 OHC engine. Paid about 1/3 of what they're worth new. I think I paid more than it would have cost in 2019, but given everything has gone up in price so much, I think I got a good deal...

Thanks for the info and videos (I'll watch them tonight). I was scared off B&S by too many forum posts (I accept that the forums are not a statistically significant number of reviews though) that ended up with issues and claims that "they're not like B&S used to be" etc. Just sounded like B&S...

I didn't think I needed a log splitter, but I'm finding that I just cannot split the oak we have. I'd like to split around 3-4 cords a year. I can rent a splitter for $100/day, but then I need to free up a day and my body gives in after a few hours. The internet/forums have convinced me that...

Two of the 3 gang plastic retro fit boxes, one on each end of the work bench, with a mixture of GFCI sockets, USB ports and switched outlets. That would save me from buying the expensive 6 gang cover. I'm still surprised that there aren't more euro style options, but will cobble together this...

Thanks, I didn't realize that's what those single boxes are for. So for a 6 wide face plate, I'd get 6 of these individual gangs? That's the "correct" way to do it, not two 3 wide ones? I am retro fitting this to a wall that is already finished. I didn't want the corded outlet rail type, as I...

It will look close, just that the NZ/AUS one is all one piece without the joins. I think I'll be going the individual sockets and one big cover route, because nothing else is available in the US. Thanks

1) I'm in the US, so subject to US code and products that have UL certification 2) I want to add some outlet sockets to the wall behind my workbench. I have 2 laptops, a monitor, USB charging for cellphone and other things, plus I need another couple outlets from time to time. I cannot find...

No, easier to build a fake website, but the other ones I've seen only bothered listing a dozen items, and stuck to more mainstream products. This one has lots of listings, and they're all these used items, not just copy/paste of stock new photos from a manufacturer. I'll try a google image...

Yeah, the website is odd, and the physical address is a house. Just seems like they went to a lot of effort for this. I tried to see if there were reports of it being a scam, but found nothing. I’ve not ordered.
